Topic: So many exclusives! How caught up are you? (Read 6953 times)

With all the exclusives being released for the 4" line since Midnight Madness, I thought I'd take an informal poll to see where everyone stands so far. For the most part, I don't seem to notice the panic and hysteria here at JD that I've seen on other boards regarding many of these items, so I'm guessing most people are relatively caught up with most of them. That wouldn't be terribly surprising though, since it seems like a lot of collectors here really go out of their way to help eachother out, which is pretty cool. So here's my current tally so far:

Early Bird set - Yes

Lava Vader - Yes

Holographic Yoda - Yes

C3 Vader - Yes

Target Clone - No

TRU Anakin Starfighter - Yes

Kohl's Bonus figure vehicle sets - No, but not interested in them. Not totally sure these are even Kohl's exclusives at this point though.

Did I miss any? I really hope Hasbro slows down on the exlcusive insanity soon, since it's really a serious pain to try to keep up with them all. The Holographic Leia is coming in a couple months, and I think I've seen rumors about more Target Clones coming in other colors. But aside from those, I haven't heard of any other exclusives on tap so far, which is relieving.

So where does everyone else stand on these so far? All caught up, or are some of them still eluding you?

I sincerely hope Target doesn't get any more exclusive figures. I thought the vehicles were difficult to obtain, but it's nothing comapred to the debacles that have been the Lava Vader and Clone releases.

I've been super lucky with these. I got Lava Vader by going to 2 Targets that morning. The Yodas I got at 2 TRU purchashing ARC-170s. The C3 Vader were from shop.star wars and the clones well, Target had 36 yesterday morning but only 1 three weeks ago.

If I'm not mistaken, they're roleplay lightsabers with a #1 Obi-Wan and a #2 Anakin pack in.

That'd be correct for the Sam's Club set (Master_Phruby hooked me up with one several weeks ago), but I've never heard of a Costco exclusive... Anyone have some info on that? I've never heard of those two stores sharing an exclusive , but maybe that was the impression Anthony's under? Is that the case Anthony, and there's not actually an additional item that none of us are aware of?

For the most part, I don't seem to notice the panic and hysteria here at JD that I've seen on other boards regarding many of these items, so I'm guessing most people are relatively caught up with most of them. That wouldn't be terribly surprising though, since it seems like a lot of collectors here really go out of their way to help eachother out, which is pretty cool.

Just to re-emphasize how cool it is around here:

Early Bird set - JediMac

Lava Vader - DaBigKahuna and jadesfire

Holographic Yoda - getting mine locally tomorrow

C3 Vader - Got my own

Target Clone - yup, thanks Jeff and jadesfire - incidentally, one is probably headed back down to Minnesota for C&S

TRU Anakin Starfighter - No, but may pick it up from someone if it hits clearance.

Blue Senate Guard - not available in Canada to this point, but pmundheim was kind enough to send me two for cost.
